September 24, 2008, 12:06pm (report abuse)Free-WAY or High-Cost Toll Way this is the question...
Those who use these roads should help generate the means to pay for them besides adding taxes to others who do not...In Florida certain Bridges are Toll Bridges built maintained and paid for by those who use them on a daily basis, and not by those who live hundreds of miles away who do not even know of its existance when they pay for it through the States Taxes and fee's to their Vehicle Registration each year, AND STILL see no better use of the Money generated to maintain and or repair them.
Having worked for the companies who build and maintain the roads for local and state, I can tell you this...they see GOVERNMENT JOBS as a means to stroke the bottom line for higher profits. Nothing like a $120,000.00 pot hole repair to help the bottom line.
